As pointed out by dteske and koobs, I think having the bsdinstall menu
order change depending on resources would lead to confusion and would not
be aligned to POLA.

My opinion is that presenting the most common option as the first option
makes sense, but that users should still apply their brain and understand
the merits of the options when making a selection.

Perhaps we could simply include a message on that bsdinstall partitioning
mode selection screen that UFS is recommended on systems with < 4 Gb RAM?

Regards,
Ben
